RYAN responds to Pelosi asking him to remove Devin Nunes as Intel Chair:
"They're just playing politics, and I think they're looking for a political distraction, is what I get out of that. Look, the tax cuts are working." From there he touts other achievements.

.@SpeakerRyan: "This memo is not an indictment of the FBI, of the Department of Justice; it does not impugn the Mueller investigation or the deputy attorney general."
Pretty clear Speaker Ryan is standing behind Devin Nunes and his plans to move toward release of the House GOP memo.
McConnell doesn't back up John Thune's call for House GOP to share memo with Senate Intel Cmte before release:
"I don't have any suggestions to make to the Speaker; I think he's handling this just right," McConnell says.
"I don't have any suggestions to make to the Speaker; I think he's handling this just right," McConnell says.
Ryan's defense of releasing the memo is, essentially, about protecting civil liberties.
